Not long after Manafei appeared beside Fang Yuan and his team.
In various places within the Temple of the Sea, numerous Manafei emerged from the flowing water curtains.
These Manafei were all clones.
As Manafei's body is made up of eighty percent water, it can create multiple water clones quite easily.
Additionally, with the ability of spirit communication, Manafei could have multiple bodies share a single consciousness.
In some ways, this ability had already transcended mere Shadow Clones and the Substitute Technique.
"Mana~," the six clones swam towards the other Trainers, excluding Fang Yuan.
That is to say, at this moment, not only did Fang Yuan meet Manafei, but the other six Trainers who entered the Temple of the Sea also encountered Manafei.
"Manafei?"
"Manafei!!"
"Manafei..."
All six Trainers were incredibly surprised to find Manafei appearing beside them.
Some even began to think they were the chosen ones, favored specially by Manafei...
Under the guidance of Manafei, the Trainers who entered the temple simultaneously began to encounter their respective opportunities.
...............
"What could it be..."
Meanwhile, led by Manafei, Fang Yuan arrived at the core area of the Temple of the Sea.
Now, Fang Yuan was very curious about the method Manafei had mentioned to make two Pokémon stronger.
In Fang Yuan's team, Dragonite and Milotic were weaker in terms of combat power, merely at Professional level, significantly behind the rest of the team. This opportunity might allow them to catch up.
Last time at Emuritto's place he had a considerable gain, and this time with Manafei, there would definitely be plenty to gain...
However, last time, the benefits came from an emotion exchange game; this time... it's not going to be a soul exchange game, right?
Fang Yuan worriedly thought... if so, he hoped it would only involve exchanging the souls of the Pokémon and not involve him...
As Fang Yuan indulged in these wild thoughts, Dragonite and Milotic were also filled with anticipation.
Dragonite, excited and suppressing its trembling body, firmly told itself to seize this opportunity.
The goal was to heal, become stronger, and to woo Milotic on the pinnacle of its dragon life!
Only with great strength could it win Milotic's favor, gain Fang Yuan's approval, and have Fang Yuan entrust Milotic to it with confidence...
"Bwoo..." Dragonite unconsciously showed a smile, feeling a surge of motivation.
As for Milotic, its thoughts were much simpler, unwilling to be just the team's support or the weakest among the six main Pokémon.
One could say Milotic's pride was no less than any other Pokémon.
...
The first place Manafei led Fang Yuan and his team to was behind a waterfall.
Passing through the waterfall, behind it was a dangerous area connected to the sea with a huge whirlpool.
The violent Water flow that formed the whirlpool, like an abyss, could devour everything... Fang Yuan had no doubt, even Water-type Pokémon would face a life and death situation without considerable strength if they entered it.
"What is this place?"
Fang Yuan wondered if the method for becoming stronger mentioned by Manafei was to let Dragonite or Milotic train themselves using this whirlpool.
After a moment, Fang Yuan realized his previous assumption was too small... or rather, he underestimated Manafei... Manafei didn't play by the usual rules at all, starting with a bang!
Below the whirlpool, where it was dark, the darkness began to emit a silver glow as Manafei softly chanted.
Fang Yuan, Eevee, Dragonite, and Milotic held their breaths, looking at the silver holy object flying out of the whirlpool...
It was a feather radiating silver light,
As soon as this scale-like Silver Feather appeared, the Water flow immediately changed, and the air around began to experience violent movements!
As the feather, resembling a divine object, appeared before them, Fang Yuan's pupils instantly narrowed. Could it be...
"Bwoo..."
Dragonite felt the changes around it, understanding that everything was caused by the silver feather before its eyes...
Dragonite had a solemn expression, feeling a sublime power from the feather, which was deeply attractive.
Though it was only a feather, Dragonite felt as if it possessed its own soul and consciousness, containing supreme power.
It subconsciously judged that the owner of this feather was undoubtedly an existence far more powerful than the Guardian God of Dragon Island.
"Could this feather be..." Fang Yuan, after seeing the Silver Feather, instantly displayed an incredulous expression.
The opportunity Manafei was offering Dragonite to become stronger, was this?
"Mana~," Manafei then began to explain.
It was the Silver Feather of the Sea God Lugia, or one could also say, the Feather of the God of the Wind Lugia.
At present, this feather still contained the power of Lugia.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan fell completely silent, his speculation confirmed and followed by a wave of shock.
The Silver Feather, in games, it was used to summon Lugia's arrival.
In reality, while Fang Yuan didn't know all the uses of the Silver Feather, as Lugia's feather, it must be exceptional!
Manafei was actually willing to give this to him... Fang Yuan was almost ready to kneel, never had he seen such a friendly Pokémon!
"Manafei~~" Manafei swam over, holding the Silver Feather in front of it, and then swam beside Dragonite, handing it into its claw.
"Manafei Manafei~~" Manafei explained that by holding the Silver Feather, one could feel the power of Lugia.
As for how much Dragonite could gain, that depended on its own perception.
There was only one day's time, the Silver Feather, it would be taken back after a day.
Dragonite: (..•˘_˘•..)
Dragonite immediately showed a serious expression.
As for Fang Yuan, he was stunned for a moment, wasn't it supposed to be a gift?
"Thinking about it... I miss peaches again."
"Bwoo…" Meanwhile, as Dragonite held the Silver Feather in its claws, it was tremendously moved.
At this moment, it indeed felt an extraordinary power.
Holding the Silver Feather, Dragonite felt as if all its potential were being excavated!
This power, Dragonite knew very well, was something it had not been able to grasp when it was awake before.
Perhaps it was... power from after it had fallen asleep?
With one claw holding the Silver Feather, the other gently swept over, and its wings also began to vibrate slightly.
Every subtle change in the air flow was captured clearly by Dragonite as if it were tangible.
By now, Dragonite could be certain that its air flow perception skills and the ability to control the wind had reached their peak at this moment.
And all this… was the doing of the Silver Feather!
Originally, Dragonite could only display this powerful skill in its sleep, following its instincts, but now, with the help of the Silver Feather, it could use them even while awake.
Although it might return to normal after letting go of the Silver Feather, Dragonite understood that this was undoubtedly an opportunity!
To feel its own power while awake, to immerse itself completely in it... and to digest it with ultra-high efficiency!
Even though there was only one day, this day might be worth a month, or even a year of hard training.
"Bwoo!!" Dragonite excitedly held the Silver Feather, Manafei nodded with satisfaction, noticing how well the Silver Feather suited Dragonite.
The next moment, it started to create a Substitute in front of Fang Yuan and the others...
This water Substitute first swam to Fang Yuan's side and then swam towards the outside...
Fang Yuan realized that Manafei wanted Dragonite to stay here alone to train for a day.
At the same time, it would also help Dragonite address its sleepwalking during this period, so next… the Substitute would continue to lead Fang Yuan and his team to Milotic's training location.
...
Manafei bringing out Lugia's Silver Feather for Dragonite to experience was something Fang Yuan hadn't expected.
"This is incredible, incredible…"
It was also at this moment that Fang Yuan realized just how rich Manafei was, as the prince who owned a Temple of the Sea and the entire ocean, capable of summoning Legendary Pokémon to help.
In terms of collecting treasures, even Emuritto, the God of Emotion directly under Arceus, was certainly not as outstanding as Manafei, the God of Being Lazy.
"This opportunity is absolutely significant for Dragonite!"
When Fang Yuan captured Dragonite, he had considered that Lugia and the Dragonite species might have an unusual relationship; now, Manafei's actions confirmed this thought.
The Multiscale Trait is fascinating, not only reflected in defensive power but also in reducing air resistance, allowing the bearer to fly at higher speeds, and meanwhile, the Pokémon can better sense air currents with its body.
There are only two kinds of Pokémon that have this Trait.
One is Dragonite, and the other is Lugia, which has an inseparable relationship with the weather and may represent the ocean current, the Ocean Heat Exchange System, holding related powers.
"Perhaps Dragonite could better develop the Ability Power with the aid of the 'God of Wind's' 'Silver Feather'..."
Following this, not only could Dragonite resolve its illness, but it also had the opportunity to become stronger... Fang Yuan felt happy for Dragonite and was also looking forward to where Manafei would take them next.
Soon, under Manafei's guidance, Fang Yuan and his team came to a new area.
At this point, Fang Yuan was vaguely aware that the Temple of the Sea was probably composed of several different spaces, with a rather complex internal structure.
"It shouldn't be a large Different Space like the Spirit World or Giratina's Reverse World; maybe it's a super small Different Space like the one in the Pokeby Paradise in the Miraculous Kingdom of the Hoenn region in the animations…"
As Fang Yuan was thinking, he, Eevee, and Milotic were led by Manafei to a cave, which seemed to be connected to the sea as well, with a body of water in the center of the cave.
However, this body of water was relatively calm, and the atmosphere was completely different from the previous vortex water area.
"Bwoo…" "Miloo~~~" Eevee and Milotic both showed puzzled expressions.
Here, it felt as if they were in a vibrant environment...
If it were in the forest, Fang Yuan would not find this feeling strange, but here there were only rocks, as well as water, which was quite bizarre.
Milotic looked down at the body of water, which felt to it even more mysterious than The Lake of Purification in Combat City.
"Alpha...?"
Suddenly, Fang Yuan noticed very faint markings on the wall, which resembled the pattern "α", seemingly red in color.
Apart from the mysterious water, this pattern also seemed to emit a peculiar Mental Fluctuation...
After recalling for a moment, Fang Yuan turned his gaze sharply towards Manafei... A royal flush at the start, followed by another explosion?
If he wasn't mistaken, this place had something to do with Kyogre!
First Lugia, then Kyogre, this was no longer a royal flush but rather like playing a game of cards with four twos and both jokers included!
"Manafei~" Manafei started to explain again that this place was another friend of its, Kyogre's, habitat.
This place wasn't particularly special before, but Kyogre had once tried to absorb Natural Energy here, returning to its primal form—
